Step into one of Mauritius’ most extraordinary natural wonders.
Hidden among the lush green landscapes of south-west Mauritius, Chamarel 7 Coloured Earth is a fascinating geological phenomenon where nature has transformed the earth into rolling dunes of red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow. Shaped over time by Mauritius’ volcanic origins, minerals, erosion and tropical climate, this remarkable landscape offers visitors a glimpse into the island’s geological past.
Surrounded by tropical vegetation, the contrasting colours of the dunes create an almost surreal scenery and one of the most recognisable landscapes in Mauritius. Whether you are discovering the island for the first time, travelling as a couple, with family or with friends, Chamarel is one of those places that deserves a place on your Mauritius itinerary.
Chamarel 7 Coloured Earth is located in the picturesque village of Chamarel, in the south-west of Mauritius, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, mountains, and some of the island’s most spectacular natural scenery.
The attraction is easily accessible by road and is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes from the north of the island, around 1 hour from Port Louis, and about 45 minutes from Flic en Flac, depending on traffic.
Its location makes it an ideal stop while exploring the scenic south-west of Mauritius, with several popular attractions nearby, including Chamarel Waterfall, Black River Gorges National Park, Le Morne Brabant, and the beautiful coastal landscapes of the region.
